Vice President, Full-Stack Engineer

BNY's Wove Trading & Rebalancing team builds and operates the technology

platform behind PershingX — the digital investing, trading, and portfolio

management experience for wealth management firms, advisors, and asset managers.

The platform spans 50+ microservices and microfrontends processing portfolio

rebalancing, order generation, trade execution, sleeve allocation, tax

harvesting, and investment operations across multiple custodians and investment

products (SMA, URPM, UMA). Our users range from individual financial advisors

managing client portfolios to large-scale asset managers executing firm-wide

model changes across thousands of accounts.

We ship production code daily across a polyglot stack: Angular microfrontends

(Module Federation), a NestJS GraphQL BFF, Java 21 / Spring Boot 3.x backend

services, and Kafka-driven event pipelines — all deployed on BNY's cloud-native

App Engine infrastructure. We use AI-assisted engineering practices to

accelerate the full software development lifecycle.

The Role

We are looking for a Senior Vice President, Full-Stack Engineering Lead in New

York City to own the technical direction, delivery, and operational health of

the Wove Trading & Rebalancing platform.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You will write code, review architecture,

lead incident response, and mentor engineers, while also driving the strategic

roadmap with Product and Business stakeholders. You will be responsible for a

platform that must be correct (it moves money), resilient (market hours are

non-negotiable), and scalable (the client base is growing rapidly across

multiple wealth management firms).

Architecture & System Design

* Own the technical roadmap for the Trading & Rebalancing platform — from

rebalancing compute engines and order generation pipelines to advisor-facing

trading dashboards.

* Design and evolve a multi-personal, multi-custodian entitlements architecture

that supports advisors, home office users, portfolio managers, and asset

managers — each with distinct data hierarchies, trading discretions, and

custody constraints.

* Drive the "One BFF" initiative: consolidating functional and data

entitlements resolution into a unified NestJS GraphQL middleware layer using

strategy patterns, guard chains, and per-persona data scoping.

* Make architecture decisions across the full stack — Angular microfrontends,

NestJS services, Spring Boot microservices, Kafka consumers/producers,

Hazelcast distributed caching, and the DataLake API persistence layer.

Full-Stack Engineering

* Build and maintain high-performance backend services in Java 21 / Spring Boot

3.x — order generation engines, rebalancing workflows, allocation services,

validation engines, custodian rules engines, and trade automation pipelines.

* Develop and extend Angular microfrontends using Module Federation — trading

worksheets, order review screens, overview dashboards, trading rules

configuration, tax harvesting, sleeve allocation, and custom rebalance UIs.

* Design and operate a NestJS GraphQL BFF that resolves entitlements from EMS

and Admin Center, orchestrates downstream service calls, and delivers

persona-aware data to the frontend.

* Implement secure service-to-service communication using mTLS certificates,

OAuth2/JWT, and Kerberos authentication — all integrated with BNY's API

Gateway and marketplace token exchange.

* Trading & Rebalancing Domain

* Deliver capabilities for portfolio rebalancing workflows, model management,

proposed order generation, order review, and order submission — supporting

equities, fixed income, and multi-asset sleeve strategies.

* Build systems that handle multi-custodian complexity: Pershing, Schwab, and

bank custody-including cross-hierarchy custodian bindings where different

firms route through different custodians.

* Implement per-client trading discretion configuration (e.g., one firm can

trade true UMA while another is restricted to SMA/URPM only).

* Ensure platform compliance with regulatory, audit, and risk requirements in a

financial services environment.

AI-Enabled Engineering

* Champion AI-assisted development across the SDLC- design, coding, testing,

code review, documentation, and production support.

* Drive engineering productivity through AI-powered tools for automated test

generation, release impact analysis, and incident root cause identification.

* Lead adoption of agentic AI workflows that integrate with the team's existing

CI/CD, SonarQube quality gates, and GitLab pipelines.

* Operational Excellence

* Own production readiness across the service catalog -availability,

resiliency, observability (Splunk, Dynatrace), and platform health.

* Lead major incident resolution and root cause analysis. Market-hours downtime

is not acceptable.

* Reduce operational burden through automation, intelligent monitoring, and

self-healing patterns.

* Drive continuous improvement in deployment frequency, change failure rate,

and mean time to recovery.

People Leadership

* Lead and mentor engineers across frontend, backend, BFF, and platform

disciplines.

* Foster a culture of ownership, engineering excellence, and continuous

learning.

* Support hiring, talent development, and organizational growth.
